Good People

For Thursday, the 27th July at 6pm we are screening the delightful French film, Driving Madeleine.

Our 8pm screening is the inspiring documentary, Ernest Shackleton: The Greatest Story of Survival.

Both screenings will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre.

Driving Madeleine
France, 2022, Comedy/Drama, (English Subtitles), 95 mins, Rated M
Cast: Line Renaud, Dany Boone. Director: Christian Carion

Madeleine's 92 and finally leaving her small home for an aged-care facility on the other side of Paris.

Charles, her taxi driver, senses Maddie is in no hurry to reach her destination. So he goes via her old neighbourhood and various other locations which have been significant to Maddie as she shares the major events of her life with him.

"We can only wish other countries put as much effort into satisfying audiences as France does with Driving Madeleine." - Radio NZ
